    Hey all,

    I am looking to get something funky with my laptop done, I don't really know, I have a philips x57, which looks funky as it is, But I want it to look out of this world. I am thinking about getting some sort of lights or something I can put underneath it that power off of the battery somehow but I am not sure how to do it, Like glueing some UV lights and rigging it through the power supply or something, Has anyone done this before and do you know how I could manage it. Also, is there any point attaching more fans to the case or anything, My laptop is SOOOO hot, I wouldn't mind getting a new case or something, Would that be possible.

    Thanks

    In short, yes ofcourse it would be possible, anything is possible if you are willing to spend/ invest enough time into it. I doubt you would be able to find a manual or guide for such a thing but theres always Google if all else fails.

    Just pop down to your local jewellers mate. There's one in Rhyl that I've inquired about and they seem to do allright.
